In my parking garage in my new studio, there is a new, black Lexus that parks next to me. It is a gorgeous vehicle and looking at it every time I go somewhere makes me want one. I probably will pull in late at night one night when I’m tired and scrape the side of it lol.… read more “Lexus SC 430”

Consideration
Bestemor (my grandma) has been hammering on me for years to be more considerate of people. I think it’s finally starting to sink in. I try to help my family and friends whenever possible and think about others feelings and ideas carefully, even certain annoying coworkers lol. Bestemor has always been very caring for me, from helping me with the mundane tasks (dentist appointments, football practice), to fun stuff (skiing at the cabin, gifts) to the larger issues of life (where to go to college, what profession, how to treat people).… read more “Consideration”

When that happens, people always sob about how they should’ve told the person sooner about how much they cared about them. Therefore, before I die, I’m going to tell myself how much I love me and what a freakin’ great guy I am.… read more “Eulogy of Joel”
Happy Birthday Jeremy!
Today is Jeremy’s birthday. He is turning 24.
Jeremy is the sweet fellow second from the left in the photo. And yes, he always dresses like that.
We attended Cascade together for high school, although he and I never really talked to each other much until immediately after we graduated. He also attended UW with me.… read more “Happy Birthday Jeremy!”
Arguing
I hate arguing with people when I feel frustrated, because I just end up pushing issues farther than I should and going in circles. I know I’m doing it, but it’s hard to stop myself. I need to make more of a conscious effort to be accepting and try to understand others’ perspectives better.
